- Project Title : TB-CAP Program (Under MODHUMITA Programme)
Technical Support : Family Health International (FHI) Bangladesh
Finance by : United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Project area : Cox’s Bazar District
Core objective : Combat TB through supportive mechanism
Project View
TB is generally regarded as diseases of the Poor. In the given Socio economic condition of Bangladesh it still remains a big challenge to ensure access of the poor and marginalized people to the TB services. Therefore, in order to increase the accessibility of TB program with ultimate aim to improve case detection and case holding through community/peer participation, the notion of introducing Sputum Collectors and DOT providers has been conceptualized in the TB CAP project, Bangladesh.
Promotion of TB case detection and treatment services through Sputum Collector:
December 2009 NONGOR recruited Sputum Collectors for its Modhumita Project agreement with FHI under TB CAP Project for explained objective of Sputum Collection and DOT provision to their community people and seek their active participation in strengthening screening, treatment and referral (where necessary) of suspected TB cases. Before starting TB CAP project, the medical officer of NONGOR Modhumita Project referred the suspected clients having cough for more than three weeks to those centers for case detection and treatment.
Counselor of Modhumita center provided result of screening, ensure DOTS to nearest health complex or TB center and refer positive case to DOTS centers. Beside he provided basic information related to sign & symptoms during counseling session and maintain liaison with local GO/NGO TB centers to ensure effective referral mechanism. The Sputum Collectors supply the sputum cups to the suspect, collect and deliver the samples to the nearby TB microscopy center managed by NTP partners. NTP and FHI will orient the volunteers on counseling, suspect tracing, sputum sample collection and delivery/transfer to microscopy center. They also be oriented on Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) of TB and record keeping.
The management of the NONGOR submitted report monthly/quarterly to the affiliated DOTS center of NTP and Partners. Appointed sputum collector provided transport cost for suspect screening, sample collection, delivery and for reporting and collection of TB drugs. Given below is the summarized task of the sputum collectors:
- Screening TB suspect, Collection of Sputum
- Interviewing suspected TB cases.
- Giving enough explanation / demonstration to the TB suspects –how to produce good sputum ( as per guidelines)
- Preservation & transportation to the nearest Microscopy center in the same day
- Collection of sputum results and informing respective suspects/patients.
- Provision of DOT or referring patients to the microscopy centers for starting treatment.
- Follow-up the patients.
